The Generations Project motivates me to walk by faith financially. While I’ve been a tither for many years, there are notable times when God asks me to do something above and beyond that. I’ve seen God’s provision my entire life, but I see His breakthroughs when I obey (by faith) during those special times of giving that are beyond my ability. It’s a true spiritual journey.
When I was a 12-year-old, I planted 100 pecan trees on my grandfather’s property. That was more than 50 years ago. Today, nearly 20 of them still stand, and they are massive and fruitful. I didn’t know much about planting seeds, but I did know that if you plant them, you would see several things happen. I now know these things as the laws of the harvest. Here’s what they are:
We will only reap what has been sown - holding seed will mean no harvest
We will reap the same kind that we sow - the seed determines the harvest
We will reap later than we sow - there’s always a waiting period
We will reap in proportion to what we sow - sow much, reap much
Today, those 20 trees bear fruit in proper season, and thousands of pecans came from the 100 planted five decades ago. Why? Because of the laws of the harvest.
These laws also pertain to your giving. “Lord, help me to be a gracious and generous sower of spiritual seeds through our church. May the gospel multiply as I give. And may You bless us to give again and again to Your kingdom.”
